Are the magnetic pole and the geographic north pole always the same distance apart?

The Geographic Poles are fixed at the earth's axis of rotation. The Magnetic Poles are located within a few hundred kilometres, but wander. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North (the location) is south, which is why it attracts the north pole of a compass needle.

What would happen to two magnets if the distance between them increase?
Their magnetic influence will decrease (lessen) as the distance apart increases.
True or false that the further apart two magnets are from one another the stronger the forces that attract or repeal the magnet?
False. The magnetic force of attraction or repulsion between the magnetic poles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the poles. So farther apart two magnets the force between them becomes weaker.
What is the relationship between distance and magnetic. attractions?
Magnetic attractions get weaker as the bodies get further apart. However the relationship is an inverse square law, which means that if the distance is doubled, the force drops to a quarter.
If two materials have a weak magnetic domain?
If two materials have a weak magnetic domain then their lines of force will be sketched as farther apart. This is the convention for drawings of magnetic fields.
How far apart are the two lenses of a refracting telescope?
They can be any distance apart depending on the focal length and magnification.
Are the North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?
No. The magnetic pole wanders quite a bit - even towards the south rotational pole at times.
Are the magnetic north and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?
Actually no. Magnetic north shifts over time. It has to do with the rotation of the liquid iron inside the earth. I can't remember the exact number but I think you can estimate true north by adding 5 degrees to your compass.
What kind of angle is always the same distance apart?
An angle has no distance and so there is no angle which is the same distance apart.
What would happen to two magnets if the distance between them increase?
Their magnetic influence will decrease (lessen) as the distance apart increases.
Which lines are always the same distance apart?
Parallel lines are the same distance apart for all points along the line.
Line segments that are always the same distance apart?
Parallelogram
Lines that are always the same distance apart?
They are parallel lines
What geographic factors does the value of gravity depend on?
The mass of the planet, and the distance from the center of gravity. Gravitational pull is a relation between the mass of two bodies and their distance apart.
What is the difference between a subspecies and a variety?
Subspecies occur in different geographic areas, while varieties are always split apart
Are the magnetic North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?
Actually no. Magnetic north shifts over time. It has to do with the rotation of the liquid iron inside the earth. I can't remember the exact number but I think you can estimate true north by adding 5 degrees to your compass.
What are two lines in a plane that do not meet and they are always equal distance apart?
Parallel.
Two lines that lie in the same plane and are always the same distance apart?
parallel lines
